Vinyl Flooring in Northport, AL

Today’s vinyl flooring is a luxury item, offering all the latest hardwood and tile looks in a synthetic format. With its reliable resilience and simple care requirements, it’s no wonder why luxury vinyl has become a flooring favorite for modern life.

At Wheat’s Carpet One Floor & Home of Northport, Alabama, we have all your vinyl flooring questions covered. Whether you need sturdy planks for multifamily or commercial properties, sheet vinyl for a sprawling office complex, or family-friendly flooring that won’t scratch or dent, we’ve got just what you need right here.

Why Choose Vinyl Flooring?

Manufactured with the capabilities to succeed in all your favorite indoor spaces,  vinyl flooring is the perfect method of adding authentic hardwood and stone looks into areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and finished basements.

Your vinyl floor can live peacefully with kids and pets and will stay newer for much longer, allowing you to enjoy serious savings as the years go on.

What Types of Vinyl Flooring Are There?

Vinyl flooring isn’t new to the flooring industry. What used to be known as the “cheap” alternative to other surface options such as hardwood and tile, is now associated with resiliency and even luxury.

There are several different forms of luxury vinyl flooring today, allowing for even further flexibility: sheet vinyl, vinyl plank, and vinyl tile.

• Sheet vinyl flooring is probably the best option for those on a limited budget, or those who are furnishing floors for a very large area. It’s favored by property managers for this very reason.

• Vinyl tile combines the looks of all our favorite, high-end hard surfaces, such as artisan ceramics, with the resilience of a tough-as-nails synthetic. Easy to install, many vinyl tile varieties can be laid over your existing hard-surface flooring, with little to no preparations required. There’s no grout or complicated adhesives needed. Some types simply click together. Like other types of luxury vinyl, this tile can handle it all: foot traffic, high-heeled shoes, spills and splashes, and sun-fading, for starters.

• Vinyl plank flooring is made to resist moisture and heavy wear. It’s a wonderful alternative to traditional hardwood or stone. Although one shouldn’t directly vinyl plank to real hardwood or stone, there are many compelling reasons to opt for this amazing imposter. There are vinyl plank offerings to satisfy every style craving, with looks ranging from high-polished “marble” to weathered “pine.” Stone-look allows us to showcase the nature-inspired visuals of all our favorite stone products: marble, slate, granite, and more, minus the cost and time-consuming installation.

Is Vinyl Flooring Really Waterproof?

Not all vinyl flooring is made the same. Some products are water-resistant, while others are fully waterproof.

The differences between regular vinyl and waterproof vinyl flooring aren’t visible at an initial glance. Our flooring professionals can help you understand the subtle nuances that determine whether your preferred vinyl is waterproof – or not.

While water-resistant flooring resists surface moisture, waterproof floors prevent moisture from sinking beneath the surface and damaging your subfloor. At the surface, waterproof vinyl planks and tiles have a durable wear layer that repels moisture, scratches, and scuffs.

It’s a great option for:

• Mudrooms
• Finished Basements
• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Kids’ Rooms
• Anywhere Pets Roam

Where Can Vinyl Floors Be Installed?

Vinyl flooring has very few limitations. Since it’s resistant to moisture and everyday damage, this is flooring that can go throughout your home, including your kitchen or bathroom.

It’s also perfect in commercial settings, including rental properties, as it’s durable and versatile. Since it’s readily available in a vast array of patterns, styles, textures, and colors, you won’t have a problem finding the right product for whichever room you might have in mind.

We offer glue-down and easy click-lock floating floor installations. Floating vinyl floors are very fast to install, and you can replace them or repair them with minimal effort down the line.
